How did this happen?

Those are rolled up diapers.  

Long story long:
My autistic ADHD son, Solomon, woke up in a going-to-make-up-songs-like-'hit Dominic'-mood this morning, earning himself 5 chores for after school.  I had a bunch of diapers tied up from a baby shower, one of those adorable, yet practical while still impractical diaper cakes.  But I'm not so jerky as to complain about a thoughtful and time consuming to make party gift...is there anything nicer than this shower for a 3rd child of the same sex as the first two?  I'm so spoiled.  Proof below.

very cute diaper cake......and food, which is even better

So blowout, untie diaper, repeat...then, BINGO! 6 year old chore time!  After a few chores and field day, Sol was in an annoyingly tired but hyper giggly mood.  This 10 minute job of cutting all the ribbons took him exactly 1 hour, making us 15 minutes late to dinner at my sisters.  So, did the diapers get put into the diaper bin?  No, we just left them in a pile.  A neat pile.  Then we came home.  Bedtime went okay, which means I only had to take Dom's Duplos away for tomorrow and move him to my room til he fell asleep.

But my guess is he didn't go straight to sleep.....



I will though.  That mess can wait until tomorrow.  Just keeping it real.
